Dean Jr., a longtime faculty member and currently dean of Kenan-Flagler Business School, has been appointed as the next executive vice chancellor and provost for UNC-Chapel Hill.

Chancellor Holden Thorp and Chancellor-Elect Carol Folt announced Dean’s appointment, effective July 1, in an email to the campus community on May 23.

Dean was appointed as Kenan-Flagler’s dean in 2008. Thorp said Dean had successfully positioned Kenan-Flagler as a leading global business school that is a valued member of the campus community and a major contributor to the welfare of North Carolina, the nation and the world.

In a news release, Folt called Dean an “accomplished scholar and outstanding educator” who is widely respected for his “visionary leadership” and “interdisciplinary approaches he takes to ensure excellence in research, education and public service.”

“As the chief academic officer, his deep knowledge of university strengths across schools and commitment to providing an outstanding education for our undergraduate, graduate and professional students will assist me in engaging the entire community in building a bright future,” Folt said.

An interim dean will be announced later, along with plans for a search committee to find Dean’s successor.

This new role at Georgetown McDonough will mark Hubert's first position in higher education.

Here, she was responsible for recruiting 4,000 volunteers annually and managed the operations of nine regional recruitment offices across the United States.

http://gmatclub.com/blog/2012/09/columbia-business-school-appoints-new-assistant-dean-of-admissions/#commentsThu, 13 Sep 2012 19:12:02 +0000stacyblackmanhttp://gmatclub.com/blog/?p=14366Columbia Business School recently announced the appointment of Amanda Carlson as assistant dean of admissions, where she will oversee the admissions department of the MBA and Executive MBA programs at the school. Carlson follows former assistant dean of admissions Mary Miller, who is now program director for EMBA-Global Asia, a joint program offered by the University of Hong Kong, London Business School, and Columbia Business School.

The changing of the guard comes on the heels of a recent Bloomberg Businessweek article on last year's precipitous drop---19%---in applications to Columbia's full-time MBA program. It’s the biggest one-year drop in recent memory, BusinessWeek reports, and Amir Ziv, vice dean and accounting professor at Columbia, blames troubles on Wall Street for the slump.

Carlson joined the admissions team in 2002 as a coordinator and worked her way up to her previous role as director of admissions. Prior to joining Columbia, she worked in campus recruitment for McKinsey & Company. Carlson has also served on the Board of the Forte Foundation and as a member of the Graduate Management Admissions Council’s (GMAC) annual conference advisory committee.

Dean Glenn Hubbard praised the departing Miller's contributions to the business school, which include the recruitment of a highly qualified student body.

“Mary and Amanda worked closely together on our admissions strategy, and with Amanda’s expertise in admissions, we are confident that she will continue the great work already underway and be a strong leader for our terrific admissions team,” Hubbard said.
